You might want two. One for the final boss, and one for later. Yeah, later.

[MermaidCim]

Are you kidding me? I'll keep that in mind.

[Teilyr]

Well, 88 deaths later..



Now, onto level 4. Later on, anyway. Catacombs wore me out.

By the by, are there any other tiger scrolls in the game besides Spin Attack?

[Peteo]

Oooooh... You got the Death Sword before Lv4! Impressive.

Anyhoo, no more Tiger Scrolls in the game unfortunately.

You don't expect players getting that sword before Level 4? I went into the catacombs shortly after getting the L2 gloves and 6th Triforce piece. I feel so awful because these many deaths... I also thought about stop playing LI by frustration... Trial and error... Deathbos... I don't have a shield and I don't remember how many bombs and potion I have. I think I missed only one HCP so far. I found the entrance of L4, saw the scene, but went back exploring. That's what this quest is for, not?

Now I go back to the catacombs and try to get that accursed sword in less than a hour...

I'm now in level 5 the vulcano cave and have acces to 3 rooms and can't lower teh spikes to go further.I have to say I didn't kill the boss of lvl 4.The bosses are to hard for me.I wasn't able to kill the boss of the catacombe either so I only have the second sword.Now I'm only playing to see as much as I can.It is a great game verry nice but for some of use the fighting of the bosses is too hard.

[CastChaos]

I have the Death Sword!
I got an extra shield, found a bomb upgrade and so the catacomb boss wasn't so �bermegaroxorz difficult, just XTREME hard. OK, maybe it wasn't hard with blue mail, L2 shield and 16 bombs, but when I needed to slash those red mounds, then I couldn't refrain from taking damage. The trial-and-error mazes were the most horrible. When the boss summoned mummys, I thought that they were deathbos, so I was like "GRRRR, I can't take more, help me mommy!". Lol.
Now with having the Death Sword, I feel myself (fighting and) free again. I explore some more and head to Level 4. It will probably be cupcake after the catacombs.
I also heard that there are some XTREME powerful items in the game in XTREME difficult side levels. I intend to find all. If I don't find them before Level 5, I will ask for subtle hints.

[Teilyr]

Not too worried about more Tiger Scrolls. Just curious.

My next target item is the bomberang. No hints, yet. I've a feeling I might know where it is.

Hey Peteo, thanks. I forgot that I needed to bomb that wall. But now I'm stuck again! lol. I got past the room with the 3 traps and made it to a maze. I'm not so sure as to what I have to do in there. I stepped on some buttons but that's about it

[Peteo]

jonn96, you have be quick in that button room. It is a timed challenge. When you step on a button, another button raises. Run to that button as fast as you can, and then to the next button, and the next one. When you have stepped o all buttons, the door will finally open.


sasja, you need to kill the Lv4 boss to lower the spikes at the volcano cave. The Lv4 boss can be hard, but when those screens besides the boss start shooting you, you just have to be really fast and shoot the screens quickly. And it is wise to bring a full potion with you.


Yeah CastChaos, LI is about exploration.
Many people say the Catacombs boss is insane. I dont get it. IMO the Lv4 boss is the toughest one in the game.

Hi, great quest you have there. Thank you for all the effort you put into it, and for the great times you give us playing.
However, I am so angry and frustrated right now I can't tell you how much.
I am an average gamer, I enjoy a good challenge and good puzzles, but I don't do well at all with the timed thingies. My fingers are what you might call not fast enough, or bluntly put, too slow.
I'm stuck in Level 3 in the room south of the first locked door. I've lost 4 hours of game play, died 10 times and I only managed two or three times to step on a total of 3 buttons. Now I know I'll never be able to complete this quest and I'm frustrated because you're penalizing players whose fingers are too slow. I don't mind never being able to get heart pieces in the timed mini-games, that I can do without, but there's nothing more I can explore without the ladder.
I needed to vent, sorry about that.
I had another account back in 2001 or 2002, but I forgot my username and password.

At what point in the game can I enter a Triforce dungeon?

Still stuck on Level 2, by the way, but I really haven't tried much since my last post in this thread(busy with life. Always getting in the way! grr). I did, however, just discover the warp to the DARK side on the screen west of the entrance. I feel stupid that I didn't notice it much sooner -.-

[CastChaos]

The first Triforce piece dungeon can be entered after getting the flute/recorder/ocarina. The big Triforce dungeon can be entered after having all 6 pieces which is after Level 3. I think you also need the L2 bracelet.

[DarkFlameWolf]

People keep saying that the three mazes in the catacombs are trial and error. They are not.
The first maze, look to where the iron knuckle statue is and enter the doorway that is closest to that statue in every screen.
The second maze, look for the bloody footprints on the floor and follow them into the doorways they lead you to.
The third maze, look to the torches and where they are blowing. And head in the direction the WIND would be coming from.
Got it?

[Peteo]

Indeed, Wolfie. There are clues to solve the 3 mazes in the Catacombs.


May, the timed puzzles are tough for everyone, but with a little practice they should be very beatable. I can even make a video of all the timed challenges of the quest if that would help you at all to see what would be the best way to beat them. Do not give up.
